    I love shirley chisholm, i am not buying netflix to see this one movie but i wish it well and i have all the streaming channels i plan to have. 
    IN AMENDMENT
    I have listened to many of shirley chisholms speeches in local nyc media before she died. because the things she said i think have grand, very grand value. I will sum it up crudely but bluntly, shirley chisholm was not convinced to black activity in government or shall i restate, she wasn't convinced that what the us government system [donkeys +  elephants + municipal government bureaucracies]  allowed black elected officials to do was helpful to the black populace. I concur to her. 
    And again, the answer is a black party of governance but Shirley chisholm comprehended that a black party of governance has its most potent opposition in the black populace in the usa itself more than the non black. So she felt finance was the pathway. BUT, the problem with finance is that the black populace in the usa is like most non white europeans, filled with people whose activities don't actually improve their respective non white european community.
    I will call out names. Berry gordy had the black owned firm in the usa with the most revenue for probably a decade. what did he do in detroit?  Robert johnson was the majority owner of the lagest black owned firm in media[television/film] in the usa , what did he do ? 
    black people in this very online community always talk about how the fiscal common in the black populace need to put their pennies together but I argue that while I concur 100% with shirley chisholm's call on black fiscal ownership needing to be the priority in the black populace in the usa, I realize that the black owning community needs a culture unheard of in its history that pushes for a black agenda. People talk about JAy Z and Sean pufy combs but so much of their money goes into the white community. NYC's black populace is financially weak BUT the wealthy black people in NYC don't have any plans that actually will empower the black populace long term and I will be blunt, said plans need to erase keeping up the jonese swith whites which i think most black people with money tend to do. If I am a multimillionaire, do I have to live in a white town in the usa? do I have to live in one of the historic black wealthy suburbs? An unheard culture in the subcommunity of black wealthy needs to happen in the usa, based on demographic honesty and black support.

    I am an artist, don't feel bad, star trek's holodeck has the same idea as this computer generated interpretation. certain computers today have enough memory plus speed to accept literal statements and compute based on their data storage plus algorithms the literal statements into graphical images. enjoy use it. if anyone wants to draw they still can,no is has halted the ability of anyone to draw straight from their imagination. but, for those who are not artists, now they have the computer to make art they want and if the computer isn't close enough, you can go to artists and have them make details changes. for example, if you want the punisher's cityscape jacket to have a particular skyline with certain buildings certain places you can go to an artists and they can manipulate it. Don't feel bad. enjoy the modern tools, enjoy their financial affordability, if you can remember the computer isn't an artist it isn't imagining anything, and if you want specifics that the computer is having trouble reaching, human artists are out there with the skills to adjust the base image.

    someone then replied

    please reiterate this to all the AI haters that want to be offended on your behalf. They swear it's an affront to all artists that use "natural" mediums. I'm pretty sure inkers & pencilers felt this way once digital showed up

     

    My reply

     in the usa, many workers in many manufacturing or mining towns have been waiting for jobs for fifty or forty years. They are joined by inkers and painters, and in twenty years will probably be joined by truckers/taxi drivers. Your correct, people online spew a wild violent negativity, unwilling to comprehend a person who supports what they oppose, to be patient to their own lives delicacy , to not be afraid. And some people simply like to spread negativity as loud as possible especially online while they are very secure offline .  But the negative vibe about computer made art is in a long line of labor group complaints energized by an ever growing populace of people who are being told all is for the collective better while they know they are not too big to fail. I admit I am lucky. I have never been hungry. I have never been told my artistic desires are unworthy or have no value. And I have a loving home where even when things go against me or not conveniently  I have people offline who comfort my fears or worries. but most people in the usa don't have that and thus the vibe. Sad. And, the solution sadly is not through online discourse, it is through CEO's elected officials managing industries better. Why didn't the usa government pay for artists in college or working in firms as digital art arose, to have free digital drawing pads plus software from sea to shining sea, every state? why didn't they force firms to pay to make sure their entire labor force including retired employees had tablets plus software. move the labor force into the industry and the labor force will not be as threatened. And if the job pool is gone, which is usual, the government need to pay to redirect people, reach to them, firms don't have to care as much, but a truly caring government should.

    33:00 I think  artist are free to do with their work what they want
    40:38 and dw griffith said correctly , I paraphrase, that the best response to a film is a film itself. I dislike the story in birth of a nation, but the best answer is another story, another film Oscar Michaeuz made , Within our gates, which I love and yes the modern remake of birth of a nation was a similar smart reply. And thank you Eddie for admitting how birth of a nation + song of the south were both the highest grossest films of their day. 
    great question James 27:18  to 45:32
    48:57 great point, eddie does make it often but  private investigators are not law enforcers or bound to the law in thier actions
    57:58 thank you for informing on the  film, celluloid underground 2023 , yes i know iran during the shah was heavily influenced by europe and european creations, the usa
    1:19:46 a sequel of "strange bargain"  in "murder she wrote", with the characters back. I wonder who was behind that production. 
    1:28:22 rest in peace john bailey,suggest watch his film china moon
